Next Friday, 23 Dicember 2011, KUNOS Simulazioni is going to announce a brand new title for 2012. The 2012 PC title is going to be based on a brand new proprietary technology that KUNOS Simulazioni is currently developing. Stay tuned for more details on KUNOS Simulazioni website on Friday 23 Dicember 2011.2012 is going to be an amazing year for simracers!

What I've got so far:- The car I thought looked liked a Lotus, checked DrivingItalia & someone said the Exige V6... yep looks like it - The name? The pic' on the KS site's called "AC_teaser". AC, Auto... err... club (no idea)- The pic' of the track looks like one of those FVA semi cloud point data shots, so laser-scanning? - The gearbox, looks like a single-seater, so the new sim' won't forget its roots =)- The curb I dunno, I know they changed the curbs at Mugello in FVA for the last release, so maybe another suggestion of laser-scanning (ok I'm running out of ideas from one screenie so will go now)

Maybe it would be better for the new sim to have a new name rather then calling it 'NetKar 2', just a thought, because 'NetKar' reminds of quality and professionalism to us, but always sounded a bit dull to normal people I guess (the name needs a bit of a stylish factor as well). (That's why people try more the 'crap' called like 'R-Factor', because the name sounds more stylish.)

Seems to be a premium service, so if anyone wants to spend $19 then by all means (I can wait a week). This was the preview report though:kunos-simulazioni.comnetkar-pro.coma***********.com kunos-bside.net (I think as that's where kunos posted the netBike demo originally)

Surely I deserve a cookie for that?

Edit: another service has similar results, shows an additional a*********** name but with a two letter extension (.it?)

The tracks have been reproduced in order to guarantee not only a fine degree of technical training, but also to allow drivers to exploit any type of car to its maximum performance, be that in testing, or online. 3D objects, surfaces and layout have been generated to re-create a truly immersive environment for racing. The Laserscan Technology guarantees the highest degree of fidelity respect the real counterparts.

Vehicles

The vehicles have been modelled using accurate telemetry data and engineering consultancy from their real-world counterparts. Their behaviour has been tested by professional racing drivers and race engineers to guarantee ultimate realism. The physics engine manages a considerable amount of data, such as tyre temperature, chassis torque, weight distribution, suspension geometry, wheelbase, track, braking system characteristics and so on, in order to generate one of the most appreciated precision experienced in a simulator.

Tyres

Assetto Corsa’s engine features dynamic tyre surfaces which change not only in behaviour but also in visual appearance as more and more track miles are added to their carcasses, when dirt build up occurs on the tyre. With the tyre’s visible appearance changing to reflect these changes, not only will the driver feel the differences but also will be able to see it, giving a whole new dimension to tyre management in simulated motorsports.

I think I've read some of that stuff already. For example the tires part, most of it is copied from the netkar-pro website!

The physics in most cars and the tire model are already great in my opinion. Kunos just needs a new graphics engine in my opinion. Also some visual damage, pit stops, pit crew, pit sounds etc would be a nice addition as well. I think if Kunos wants to sell more copies he should also add AI.

For a new sim it would be nice to see tire camber, toe or at least the specific ride-high of all cars on track of the other pilots cars at TV cam view or whatever else view, so that you might see some differences in setup of peoples cars live on track..., that feature I missed all the time in sims.

Yeah, I don't think going with an Italian name is the smartest move. I mean how are the guys SRT gonna pronounce it, how am I for that matter Anyway speculation time (can't help myself sorry). Can we assume the 911cup server we saw a while ago will be one of the cars included? Also the track it was on, Nurburgring, does that maybe suggest it'll have some FVA content? Watching the Evotek videos, they show an F1 car @ the Nurburgring, with Pirelli tyres. Does that suggest licensed content?
